Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1994, this property is 30 years old and shows signs of its age, aligning with the 'fair' category. The kitchen features outdated light wood cabinets and dark green laminate countertops, though the dishwasher appears to be a newer stainless steel model. Bathrooms also present with older style light wood vanities and basic fixtures. Throughout the main living areas and bedrooms, there is extensive use of dated green carpeting. While the property appears well-maintained and functional, and some minor updates like the kitchen's laminate wood-look flooring are present, the overall aesthetic and key components like the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly outdated and would require substantial cosmetic renovations to meet modern standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Mountain Location: Situated in the sought-after Upper Moonridge area, offering ski slope views and convenient access to Bear Mountain Ski Resort, Big Bear Alpine Zoo, and golf, while maintaining a peaceful setting away from crowds.
Proven Income Potential: Established history as a consistent vacation rental, making it an attractive investment for passive income or flexible use as a full-time or part-time residence.
Generous Outdoor Living: Features a spacious lot with a fabulous backyard and ample deck space, ideal for entertaining, relaxation, and seasonal activities, complemented by abundant parking and storage.
Spacious & Functional Interior: Boasts 1,822 sqft with an open layout, high ceilings, warm wood accents, a cozy fireplace, and a dedicated game room, providing comfortable and versatile living spaces.
Turnkey & Furnished: Offered fully furnished (per seller inventory), allowing for immediate occupancy or rental operation without additional setup costs, making it truly move-in ready.

Cons

Age of Property Systems: Built in 1994, major systems such as HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing may be original or nearing the end of their expected lifespan, potentially requiring future maintenance or replacement.
Recent Price Reductions: Multiple price adjustments from the original listing price suggest initial overpricing or market resistance, which could affect buyer perception of value or negotiation leverage.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: While common for mountain cabins, the absence of a central cooling system might be a consideration for buyers seeking year-round climate control, especially during warmer periods.
